That is good, but I think you are misunderstanding me a bit. Maybe I was misunderstanding the context in which I answered. The problem I think we where talking about was the magic-mode-alist. My concern is as usual new users (I hope many new users will try Emacs 22) and I think magic-mode-alist is mostly in the way, confusing them. This particular problem is however not a very, very big problem. In any case I appreciate constructive answers to the problem.
